Su delito, "quebrantar la fe de los musulmanes". Es decir, ser cristianos sin esconderse, y mantener un magnífico orfanato con 33 niños que ahora quedarán otra vez abandonados. En Marruecos, que es uno de los países más avanzados y modernos dentro del islam, se permite ser cristiano, pero jamás dar testimonio o hacer cualquier tipo de proselitismo. La primera consecuencia de expulsar a los 26 cristianos evangélicos es que les obliga a cerrar el orfanato Village of Hope de Ain Leuh, en el Atlas, regido por 16 de los expulsados. Su director lo cuenta en la web del centro Childrenshome Village of Hope:
VoH foreign workers expelled from Morocco
March 08, 2010 17:27 GMT
Dear friends
We have just been called together by the authorities and told that all 20 foreigners at VoH must leave the country. They have not told us how long we have left, but it will be between 1 and 3 days. The reason given is that the abandoned children in the care of VoH have been proselytised to by us, that we are trying to make them Christian. This is despite the fact that we have always been open about our faith to the authorities, and for 10 years they have allowed VoH to take in and foster children abandoned by this society, children who would otherwise be killed or placed in state run ‘mega’ orphanages.
For us we leave friends, memories, hard work, but we leave with our children William and Samuel. For others it is not so easy. 33 children have just been abandoned again by the actions of the Moroccan state. Their foster mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers, must now leave them in Morocco and return to their home countries. These 33 children have never known another mother. Some of them have been here for 10 years, since the start of VoH. One of the older children just said to Tina, ‘Why couldn’t I have real parents’. Watching the children be told by their parents that they had to leave, that they would maybe never see them again, is the most painful thing I have ever witnessed.
Please pray for the children of Village of Hope, and for their parents and foster siblings who they must now farewell.
And underneath are the everlasting arms.
Yours faithfully
Chris Broadbent.
